Incredible scenery in the Kalghan Valley, Pakistan. Standing there in the crisp morning air at 3000m surrounded by natural beauty, it was hard to imagine a photo doing it justice. But here we are, and lets see what we can do with this picture.
My own attempt looks a bit flat and 2 -dimensional - any recommendations for how to get a better sense of depth?
My next render is probably somewhat unexpected. But i love the lines and structures on the right side. I regret a little bit that that the pic ends there already without having the chance to play a little bit more with this lines. I know that this is not a excellent render regarding colours - especially the redish snow on the right. I just wanted to show you this point of view.
Give the light some directionality. I imagined the sun somewhere on your left. Everything pointing there got lit, everything else didnt.
Selective diffuse or sharpen aa filter - near 95% opacity, middle 85%, far 75%, furthest not masked
cbrgb give the colours a bit of pop and brilliance to give a bit of contrast
colour calibration to enhance the sky
various corrections and a splash of contrast equaliser.
Oh yeah, lens correction threw an error so I called your lens a sigma 15-30 (ef-s on a full frame???)
I decided to give local contrast and exposure to the mountain over the lake. The lake, however, some haze, trying to better separate elements. Hope that gives some depth (?)
Great photo! thanks for sharing R6II1051.CR3.xmp (27.8 KB)
Yeah, I used a bit of that. Obviously the composition is already taken so I blued and blurred the more distant mountains a bit, in addition to reducing contrast and slightly lightening them.
